Abstract
This study determined the role of technology education in the skills development and personal growth of grade 9 students and the significant relationship between the role of technology education on skills development and the personal growth of grade 9 students. The correlational research method is utilized in this study. It was conducted with selected Grade 9 students of Majada In Integrated School during the school year 2023-2024. The research instrument used was a researcher-made survey questionnaire. Analysis revealed that the status of technology education in terms of application of knowledge, innovation, digital literacy, and adaptability was High. Likewise, the status of skills development in terms of goal setting, problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork was High. Personal growth in terms of decision-making, emotional intelligence, self-management, and resilience was high. The roles of technology education significantly affected the skills development and personal growth of grade 9 students; therefore, both null hypotheses were rejected. Therefore, technology education should be enhanced by providing a state-of-the-art classroom and implementing a technology-based curriculum. Technology and Livelihood Education competencies related to goal setting, problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration should be emphasized.
